Our strata committee [ in NSW ] is considering appointing a building manager and we have an AGM coming up in a month’s time. There is some confusion within the SC on the approval/appointment processes
I assume we need approval by all owners [ owner corporation ] at an AGM / EGM to appoint a building manager ?
If we do, do we need to a separate motion to be voted on & approved at an AGM/EGM to appoint a building manager ?
or alternatively can we just put in an expense item and budget amount in our Adminstration Fund for a Building Manager the oncoming AGM and owners vote on the proposed budget and approval of the budget automatically approves the SC to appoint a building manager ? like we do for upcoming capex items
I did see a webinar on building managers on Thu 16th Feb 2023 in the flat chat forum which I plan to watch but some clarity now on the appointment process would be helpful before the deadline re finalising AGM agenda & booklet for our AGM in about a months time
thanks in advance

A building manager can only be appointed at a general meeting.
The committee does not need permission to consider and select a possible candidate, but without a motion passed at a general meeting, the building manager can’t be appointed.You would of course also need provide in the budget an expense item for the building manager. Again this is voted on at a general meeting.
The committee does not need to wait for the AGM as a general meeting is enough to put these motions.
